'The worst films I’ve seen have been blockbusters'

He's 13 films old, unquestionably handsome and yet eluded by the box office. Dino Morea’s recent misses are many—Holiday and Tom, Dick and Harry among others. The actor agrees that he needs to re-do his floundering career. “From this May, I’m going to start on a fresh slate,” he says. Morea is currently showing off a new look with long, wavy locks and spent his Valentine’s Day with a bunch of strangers who won a Big FM contest and dinner with the actor. “I’m here to spread selfless love,” he chuckles.

Two new releases await the actor; Bhram is out in March and Anamika in May. But he’s actually looking to do an action flick. “Both these films are romantic dramas. While Bhram is opposite a new comer Sheetal Menon, Anamika has Koena Mitra and Minissha Lamba,” states Morea.

“I want to do more action movies and I’m getting selective about work. Sometimes, scripts sound great, but eventually the movie turns out to be nothing like the narration. I have been in the industry for five years now, so it’s about time I change my image.”

After a long list of multi-starrers, including a guest appearance in Om Shanti Om’s star-spangled title song, the two films will see him as solo hero. “I have done mostly multi-starrers and I want to continue doing films that feature several actors because the audience is hard to understand these days. Some of the worst films I’ve seen have been blockbusters. So I’m guessing the audience likes to see more than one actor onscreen—it’s value for money, after all,” he reasons.

Besides acting, Morea is also excited about his production house, Clockwork Films. His company recently did a paints commercial featuring Kareena Kapoor. “We are doing a lot of ads. It’s an experience in itself and I want to continue with it,” he says.

And with the actors turning directors, Morea too is looking at venturing into production by the end of this year. Then the actor has his successful creperie, Crepe Station, that his brother Santino runs, to look out for. “In the next five years we hope to have 50 stations,” he says ambitiously.

Just as well, it’s always nice to have a safety net.
